CNNI did join Federica Whitfield briefly for an update on developments in Iran crashing out of African Voices Changemakers before crashing back into the programme a few minutes later after the update.

It's interesting that it was Fredricka Whitfield and Newsroom branding on Domestic as well, not Jake Tapper and SOTU whose time slot it was (and it's not uncommon for the SOTU anchor to do additional live segments for the 12p ET hour, if needed).

I’ve not seen Don Riddell anchoring ordinary news coverage before. Weird to have the CNN World Sport logo still on screen.

Must have been extraordinary indeed to see Don Riddell anchoring breaking news coverage! Did the World sport logo you mention include the background globe as well, or just the name bug? They usually invoke generic "Breaking news" background for those kinds of events...

There was no background logo. It was just the name bug.
